Last week, like a supportive husband, I sat with my wife and watched Mamma Mia. Effectively, I discarded the remaining shreds of my manhood, and sat painfully through the worst of all Meryl Streep movies.

Fast forward to last night, where I found myself on the couch again with the missus watching Sex and The City, The Movie. One step better, although a pretty frickin' small step.

So now I sit and contemplate the sacrifices I have made in the name of love this week, and I want you to know that I AM keeping score. And you owe me. And you know what currency I value. Yes, I'm done being romantic. Pay up.

You know, I now feel that I can use the "F" word instead of "Flipping" in my blogs because I respect you as a father and a husband. The fact that you used the word in your blog is inspiring to me. I can now come out of my shell. :) Never mind the fact that you watch chick flicks... :)

So, so very funny! We rented Mama Mia and when the young girl broke out in song...My hubby with a panicked striken face remarked "Is this a musical?""Yea!?""Crap!" was all he said for the rest of the movie!TeeHee!

I have not yet seen Mama Mia, but have heard mixed reviews about it. So I can somewhat understand your pain while watching it. SITC, however, was a kick ass movie. You should have been honored your wife wanted to share it with you. And just so you know, I heard a little rumor that there is a sequel in the works. Maybe you can enjoy that one on the big screen. : )

Wow...impressive. You are watching movies I am not even sure that I would be watching. I think that you deserve an award for this! What in the world is she going to need to do to pay you back for this insane award winning hubby stuff?

Don't you read the fine print on the marriage license?? Oh, and should I mention that it is printed on ink that only women can read. My wife reminds me of them all the time— If I am not mistaken one of them is "to watch those shows she loves"

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded.- Emerson
